BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Not sure if I posted this before, but about a year ago when I went out to Banff, I found two 1990 MCI Classics (Ex-Utah Transit Authority - Salt Lake City) running for the Sunshine Village ( http://www.skibanff.com ). I confirmed with staff at the Village that the buses are owed and operated by them for Parking lot shuttles and other needs. Now, this afternoon I got word that a Blue Bird Rear engine bus of some sort has arrived at Kirkman Bus Sales and is said to be for the Sunshine Village. I do not have photos of that unit, but when I find photos of the Classics, I will post them in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are still operated by Sunshine Village and that is where the photos were taken. I was with him when those images were taken and took some myself as well. He is fully aware they are not Banff Transit vehicles even though that is the Gallery he has them posted in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCW Metrobus Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Made no sense to make a separate gallery just for three shots. I considered calling it "Transit in the Town of Banff", but decided that was too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 It was asked in another thread of what the fleet consists of for Sunshine Village which apparently purchased former CT #'s 7001 and 5112. I am attaching photos of #'s 23 to 25. #25 is the Bluebird I was referring to and #'s 23 & 24 are the former Salt Lake City MCI Classics from 1990. I am still searching for my images of #22 which is an older International Corbeil with the extended height roof that they also operate.Also to note, I believe #25 has been sold off and is no longer part of the Sunshine Village fleet, but this is not confirmed. Awhile back, I spotted what looked to be an identical Blue Bird as Sunshine #25 parked and for sale inside the Michener Allen Auction yard in N.E. Calgary. This still needs to be verified as well as verifying that CT #'s 5112 and 7001 were in fact sold to Sunshine Village. I need to do a trip up there sometime in the near future.

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Today, Kevlo86 and myself went out to hunt down former CT #'s 5112 and 7001 which are now Sunshine Village #'s 31 and 30 respectively. Sunshine Village has retired #23 which is one of the former Salt Lake City Utah 1990 MCI Classic's, but #24 remains active. Apparently there are plans to acquire a few more MCI's from CT, so I guess we will need to keep our eyes out for when that happens. As well, thanks to member 'D40LF' for the heads up about these two former CT buses! Photos shortly... Edit: And here are the photos: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 So, I am still wondering if they did end up picking up any more CT MCI Classics after the above noted ones. I gotta do another trip out there again to check it all out again! Need money...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armorand Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 So, I am still wondering if they did end up picking up any more CT MCI Classics after the above noted ones. I gotta do another trip out there again to check it all out again! Need money...! I know that issue. $400 for my Calgary trip in approximately... three weeks! Just for travel. If it weren't for my friend letting me stay at her place, it'd be closer to $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 So a bit of an update via member tmx218. Sunshine 30 (Former CT #7001) showed up at the Michener Allen Auction yard and was sold last Thursday to an unknown buyer. So this unit is out of service from the Sunshine Village fleet and I am not really surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
